Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

A person's behavior is simultaneously driven by both external and internal motivations.

However, in Bai Qinghua's view, Nan Zhubin's internal motivation might be a bit too strong right now, causing all his thoughts to be led astray towards work.

This kid spends too little time on preparing for the graduate school entrance exams.

Therefore, he plans to take advantage of the opportunity to visit the research group to add a bit of external motivation for Nan Zhubin, attempting to redirect his focus back.

A top national laboratory for psychological behavior research should be able to impress this kid and make him study harder, right?

This task naturally fell to Chonghui.

Now, Chonghui and Nan Zhubin live within the university. The university has a specially designated family area, mostly used as housing benefits for talent recruitment, and Bai Qinghua's share is used to house his direct disciple.

The campus they are located on is vast, with the family area at the outskirts of the school, taking more than 20 minutes to walk from the dormitory to the laboratory.

But as a student of this university, Chonghui naturally has a good method.

Chonghui, this tall guy, was straddling a small electric scooter that didn't match his size, and gestured Nan Zhubin towards the back seat of the scooter.

"Hop on." Chonghui said with a face full of pride.

Nan Zhubin glanced at the scooter's slightly deformed tires and pressed his lips together.

Sprinting all the way.

Parking, swiping the card to enter the lab building, taking the elevator upstairs, and swiping the card again to enter the office.

Beep ——

Pushing open the office door, the researcher sitting on the outside looked up and, upon seeing Chonghui, instinctively said softly, "Senior brother."

Just like in the company, Chonghui was well-liked in the research group.

Several other students who appeared to be studying looked over as well, their gaze unconsciously drawn to Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin glanced around the office; there weren't many people, but it wasn't empty either. Counting revealed approximately fifteen seats, with only a few empty ones.

Qian Qian was also there, glanced up at them, and smiled, "Brought Zhuren here for a visit, huh."

Upon hearing the name "Zhuren," the students in the research group each showed a change in their expressions.

Chonghui nodded and looked around, "Where's the teacher?"

Qian Qian shrugged and pointed with an amused expression towards a small cubicle, "Busy."

Nan Zhubin realized, no wonder he didn't see the supervisor's desk in the research group, Bai Qinghua had his own study room inside the office?

But why do Qian Qian and Chonghui have such odd expressions?

During the day in the research group, everyone was naturally studying, with a few still wearing noise-canceling headphones, and seeing this, Chonghui felt it wouldn't be appropriate to formally introduce Nan Zhubin to everyone, he just softly advised Nan Zhubin to wait here for a while.

"I'll go see which laboratories are available, turn on the machines first, and take you in for a spin," avoiding disturbing the subjects currently conducting experiments.

Qian Qian clapped her hands and stood up, "I'll go with you, I need to use the [Speech Analysis Room] to analyze a batch of data later, I'll give Zhuren a demonstration."

Saying this, this female senior slightly raised her chin, obviously speaking of her specialty, and was thinking of taking this opportunity to establish her image in front of Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin provided ample emotional value to this: "Sure."

...

The two left together, leaving Nan Zhubin sitting in an empty seat.

Some faint glances swept over.

Several girls had already lost the heart for studying, their eyes met with Nan Zhubin's and then retracted like struck by electricity, then they seemed to unintentionally use reflective objects on the desk to continue to meticulously examine Nan Zhubin's outstanding modeling.

Nan Zhubin didn't pay attention to them, instead, he focused his gaze on a boy who, after glancing at him, lowered his head and continued studying on his own.

The reason for such focus was due to the other party's micro expression when he heard Chonghui call out his name.

[One corner of the mouth lifts, nostrils slightly raised, nasolabial folds deepen.]

[Neck slightly tightens, chin juts forward.]

[...disdain and suppressed anger?]

Everything has its pros and cons. Nan Zhubin knows that his modeling can sometimes provoke aversion when facing men.

But isn't this person's aversion a bit too strong?

Nan Zhubin quickly found an answer.

[Ah, I see... Probably a little misunderstanding.]

Nan Zhubin thought.

If it were ordinary times, Nan Zhubin wouldn't care about such small things. After his professional ability is displayed in the future, it will be enough to truly unify the majority of those around him in their perception of him.

But today——

[Just learned something new, kind of want to use it...]

Thinking internally, Nan Zhubin rolled the wheels of his ergonomic chair closer to the boy.

"This... Senior brother?"

In the same research group, there's no hierarchical naming convention for internal and external disciples, the supervisor tries to blur such distinctions daily, so everyone is uniformly addressed as senior or junior brothers.

The boy lifted his eyes slightly, took off his headphones, and said, "You're... Junior brother Nan Zhuren, right?"

"Have you come to get the exam questions? They're not ready yet. Didn't they say they needed it by the weekend?"

As expected, this helped understand the hostility in the other's micro expressions.

So he was the poor senior selected by Bai Qinghua to create mock exam papers for him.

However, Bai Qinghua seemed not to have told him about the addition of his name in the article to be published afterward, so this poor senior still doesn't know he's actually the lucky senior brother.

Nan Zhubin's pupils slightly dilated for a second.

[A first meeting [icebreaker], and against someone with pre-existing resentment towards me [icebreaking]... Interesting, quite challenging. Need to make the other party have a good impression of me without knowing their name will be added to the article and afterward be willing to help me create exam questions more seriously.]

[After all, we're going to be fellow disciples later, can't use any deceitful methods, must be absolutely sincere. So, the social skills learned during the day need to be converted for daily use.]

[Let me think... Can start from the direction of [social approval], create similarity, praise the other's niche hobbies or proud professional abilities to start the conversation.]

[Then, show professional quality slightly higher than the other party, establish a positive image, and at the same time, can create an authority in the same field.]

[Next, show some of my appropriate shortcomings, breaking the [perfect intruder] identity, giving the other party room to breathe.]

[At this time, the other party will definitely showcase their special skills in the related field against my inadequacies. I will then appropriately praise them, satisfying their need for respect, enhancing their sense of accomplishment...]

[These steps should more or less cover everything.]

Thoughts collided, and the formulation of this string of plans, under the support of the [Flow State], took just a second.

While the lucky senior brother in front of him had no idea he was chosen by Nan Zhubin as the first subject for practicing new skills.

Frowning ever so slightly at Nan Zhubin.
